How To Make Microsoft Edge Save Passwords In Windows 10/11

Last Updated on December 5, 2023 by admin 8 Comments

­With less than four percent market share, the Microsoft Edge browser is clearly not as popular as other web browsers among PC users. The Edge browser has most of the features available in its competitors, but most users still prefer the Google Chrome browser.

Edge browser prompts you to save passwords by default so that it can automatically fill passwords when required.

As pointed out earlier, Edge asks you to save passwords with default settings. If it’s not prompting you to save passwords, you have likely configured the Edge browser not to ask to save passwords.

If Edge is not saving passwords in Windows 10/11, follow the given below directions to make Edge browser save passwords in Windows 10.

Note that this method is for Edge browser on Windows 10/11 only. It cannot help you if you are using the Microsoft Edge browser on iPhone or Android.

Remember that the Edge browser doesn’t save passwords without your permission. It saves usernames and passwords only when you allow it to save them.

In the Edge browser, open a website that requires you to enter your username and password to sign in. Edge should now ask you to save your username and password. Click the Yes button to save your credentials.

    All wrong! First of all, when you click “settings” then “advanced” there are no passwords options there. The options for passwords has it’s OWN ICON on the same level as “advanced.” It is the KEY icon on the left where you have the GEAR (general), PADLOCK (privacy & Security), KEY (Passwords & autofill), and SLIDERS (Advanced). When you click the KEY icon, the PASSWORDS menu appears with first option is an on/off switch for “Save Passwords” which I have set to ON. UNDER that is a button “MANAGE PASSWORDS” but all you can do from that is see the ones that ARE saved and delete them. There is only an option for each one “X” on the right to delete it. If you right click it, you get options for “OPEN SITE IN NEW TAB” or “REMOVE CREDENTIAL”. THAT’S IT. This is why Edge is only used by 4% of the world population and it’s been out for 5 years.

    These instructions are WRONG and OUT OF DATE! There is no “Offer to save passwords” option. I wholeheartedly agree with James H. above. Why doesn’t MICROSOFT focus on making sure the SIMPLE commands are easy to find for the customer before going off making all the other complicated commands which are seldom used?!!! Good grief! What are you thinking!!!

    Settings in my version of Edge doesn’t show ‘offer to save’ button.
    My Edge auto ‘save password is so random as to be worthless.
    It has always amazed me how all these smart developers/programmers can’t figure out simple things in these programs. That is why there are so many 2nd, 3rd party apps and solutions and why I have an Android phone and not an iPhone.
    It is as if these folks have lost the ability to think through complete solutions that anticipate what is needed to make an app usable and that end users can use without a degree in programming.
    I have been involved with computing since the late 60s (Remington Real Time, Magnetic drum storage) and have seen a lot of brilliant innovation. Much of what Microsoft does is not well thought through.
    Having said all this, where would we be without Microsoft.

    Passwords are being saved when I ask. There’s a list of them also, handy.
    I came here to see if I could now save a password I earlier said ‘don’t save’ to. Still not sure how to do that.

    Wrong!. Edge does not always save username and password. This is a MAJOR PROBLEM users are having and Microsoft is not addressing.
